“…Then, in 2013 our group studied the biogeographical record of A . aegypti in the southeast of the country, confirming the last record of this species in Chascomús but also finding the species between March 2011 and 2012 in towns along Route Number (N°) 2 for the first time, specifically at the city of Dolores, which is 98.7 km from Chascomús (Fig 1) [15]. Recently, Zanotti et al [9] reported Villa Gesell, a small town on Provincial Route N° 11 at 110 km from Mar del Plata and 376 km from the city of Buenos Aires, as the southernmost limit.…”

Although Mar del Plata is the most important city on the Atlantic coast of Argentina, mosquitoes inhabiting such area are almost uncharacterized. To increase our knowledge in their distribution, we sampled specimens of natural populations. After the morphological identification based on taxonomic keys, sequences of DNA from small ribosomal subunit (18S rDNA) and cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) genes were obtained from native species and the phylogenetic analysis of these sequences were done. Fourteen species from the genera Uranotaenia, Culex , Ochlerotatus and Psorophora were found and identified. Our 18S rDNA and COI-based analysis indicates the relationships among groups at the supra-species level in concordance with mosquito taxonomy. The introduction and spread of vectors and diseases carried by them are not known in Mar del Plata, but some of the species found in this study were reported as pathogen vectors.
